Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and B.D. The attraction also features larger dinosaurs than Jurassic Park: The Ride, and new animatronics allow the dinosaurs to move better than their predecessors. A 3D effect makes objects in the foreground move faster than those in the background, a technique that gives the Mosasaurus a realistic appearance. The walls of the Mosasaurus tank are depicted across four large, high-definition screens on both sides of the boat. Industrial Light & Magic collaborated with the design team at Universal Studios Hollywood to create the creature and its environment. Mosasaurus, an aquatic reptile that appeared in the films, is digitally featured on the ride. The team had to rush to get the ride finished for the busy summer tourist season. Corfino worked to blend elements of the old ride with the new one, and the final idea was presented to Spielberg. He worked closely on the ride with Colin Trevorrow and Frank Marshall, the director and producer respectively for the 2015 film. Universal Creative worked on the new ride, and Jon Corfino was the project director and show producer. The Jurassic Cafe restaurant and Jurassic Outfitters retail store near the original attraction were also closed temporarily to be rethemed. It was stated that Jurassic Park: The Ride, which opened on June 21, 1996, would be closed for retheming based on the 2015 film Jurassic World and its 2018 sequel Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. The ride was announced on May 10, 2018, by Universal Studios Hollywood officials during a 25th anniversary celebration of the 1993 film Jurassic Park, directed by Steven Spielberg.
